The Alabama Division Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 1921 Tallassee Armory Guards hosted a Confederate Memorial Day event on Saturday April 29th. The event was held at Camp 1921 Fort Talisi in downtown Tallassee and was to celebrate their monument park project there with the unveiling of a statue of General Thomas Stonewall Jackson. The plans include the addition of statues for General Robert E Lee, President Jefferson Davis and General Nathan Bedford Forrest. Fort Talisi serves as the meeting place for Camp 1921 and also has a museum and library there. Four Dragoons from SCV Camp 1524 were in attendance including First Lt Tyler Suttle, Quartermaster Bill Myrick, and compatriots Rob Schwartz and Tyrone Crowley. Tallassee Camp Commander Hughey opened the ceremonies with others speaking including the keynote speaker Grover Plunket. Dana Casey Jones presented a check on behalf of the First Capitol Flaggers towards future statues! Afterwards the ladies provided a delicious spread of snacks for all to enjoy inside Fort Talisi.
